32bit Win7 Vs. Vista Vs. XP

An anonymous reader writes "ZDNet's Adrian Kingsley-Hughes tested the latest Win7 build against XP and Vista and came to a surprising conclusion: Win7 performs better than the other 2 OSs in the vast majority of the 23 tasks tested. Even installation. 'Rather than publish a series of benchmark results for the three operating systems (something which Microsoft frowns upon for beta builds, not to mention the fact that the final numbers only really matter for the release candidate and RTM builds), I've decided to put Windows 7, Vista and XP head-to-head in a series of real-world tests...'" This review shows only a 1-2-3 ranking for each test, so there's no sense of the quantitative level of improvement.

Or, almost any current Linux distro except Gentoo. (Gentoo compiles everything from source; there's no way it can compete on install time.) I've never seen a Windows version yet that didn't insist on repeated restarts during the install, to get the drivers working. Unless you need the proprietary ATI or nVidia drivers, one reboot at the end of installation and it's done. And, if you do need to download those drivers, that's only one more reboot. Two at most, and you're done.

Your sig: Not a Twitter sockpuppet... but I wish I was.

Your sig corrected to using the subjunctive mood, which is called for since it is a "contrary-to-fact" situation (supposedly): Not a Twitter sockpuppet... but I wish I were.
